Why Paul Hammer chose Victoria

I love this area of Victoria, it is so convenient to everywhere in Victoria your only 8 mins from DT, Shopping, U-Vic, easy access to Airport, Main Land Ferries and Seattle, USA, Up island highway, yet the properties have big lot's and huge trees. Well Established Neighborhood. Heritage Park and Dead End Street, great location to walking trails.

What makes this house unique

I really enjoy the peace and quiet of the area, traffic is local, south facing private back yard, huge trees provide privacy, well established neighborhood, centrally located, convenient, love the warm, spacious rooms of the house. Love the private Hydrotherapy Tub and Wet Steam Room, especially on a cold or wet day/night. House is laid out so that bedrooms are private from the rest of the house. Great for entertaining. Large windows,and big rooms.

Family gathering

Beautiful property, Paul's attention to detail is very evident in the decorating and cleanliness. The kitchen is fully stocked and lovely to prepare meals in. The home is in a quiet area but is within walking distance of grocery stores etc. We were one of three couples of a family gathering. We had vehicles but also enjoyed some nice walks. We rented the three bedroom main floor and it felt like home. Thanx Paul.

Family Reunion

Our family had a fabulous week at this property. The owner lived on-site and couldn't have been more helpful, even driving us to our next rental downtown! This place was the most well-equipped, beautifully decorated and comfortable accommodation we've had in a very long time. We highly recommend it. Thanks again, Paul.

Great Girlfriends Weekend Location!!

I had the challenge of arranging a Girlfriend's group for 8 women coming from all over the US. I felt the pressure, but Paul and his property came through with flying colors! It worked out very well as each of us had our own beds and with the many bathrooms, there was never an issue. The rooms were well maintained, nicely decorated and had all the amenities needed in each room for each guest. I have never been in a VRBO with so many nicely appointed rooms!

We had massages inside and bbq one night on the patio and it was a perfect time for us to unwind and just catch up. Paul even donated potatoes and joined us for dinner and talk on the patio! The house was above our expectations and I was very pleased.

Only improvement is to ensure there is more light between the house and the cottage each evening as it gets very dark and difficult to see!

Thanks again Paul for everything!! I would highly recommend your place to any guest!

family reunion

Thank you, Paul! Your property was unexpected perfection in every way for our family reunion group. We appreciated all the luxuries you provided. The gourmet-equipped kitchen was of particular delight to the cooks in our group. If we could give you more than 5 stars, we would.

More than we expected - a great place to stay!

This house was perfect! The kitchen is modern, fully equipped and the island proved a welcome spot for the five of us to congregate over coffee or while cooking. Some of us were jet lagged and the home design allowed us peace and quiet while we caught up on our sleep. The neighbourhood too was so peaceful and the front and back garden are park-like… absolutely beautifully maintained. Our host, Paul, was wonderful – meeting us on arrival and available via text or email to answer any of our questions. I would highly recommend any of the suites available on this property and we’ll definitely be staying with Paul again when we visit Victoria in the future.
